Gigantic Cruise Ship Planned

4/26/2007
Article Summary:
Gigantic Cruise Ship Planned
Ships may be getting bigger, but a new cruise ship planned for Japanese owners will dwarf anything in service today. Princess Kaguya is described as an 'International Urban Cruise Ship' and will be 500 m long with over 20 decks. The 370,000gt vessel will be able to accommodate 8,400 passengers and 4,000 crew, with cabins being housed in three hotel blocks....

New Class of Platform Support Vessels

2/16/2006
Article Summary:
Guido Perla and Associates (Seattle, USA) announced its design of a new class of platform support vessels for Rigdon Marine Corporation (Houston, Texas). A total of ten vessels are scheduled to be built at Bollinger Shipyards' Lockport, Louisiana facility. The GPA 654 Platform Support Vessels will be a smaller version of GPA 640 vessels. The diesel-electric propulsion configuration allows for increased tank cargo capacities far beyond other vessels of similar size. The designer claims that innovative hull-lines offer increased speed, fuel efficiency, and crew comfort for the arduous work condi...

LNG Reliquefaction System

8/30/2005
Article Summary:
LNG Reliquefaction System
Hamworthy holds a worldwide license for the sale and fabrication of the Moss RS LNG Reliquefaction system, which helps owners to realise savings by adopting diesel or diesel electric propulsion. Unlike all other cargo ships, liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers have continued to use steam turbine propulsion plant despite more efficient diesel engines being available. This is because the gas that naturally evaporates from the cargo (called boil-off) is used as fuel for the steam turbines, and until recently there was no other use for it. The ability to reliquefy the gas given off by the cargo n...

Innovative Anchor Handling Vessel

4/25/2005
Article Summary:
Innovative Anchor Handling Vessel
Bourbon Offshore Norway has been a prime mover in developing, together with Ulstein Design AS, a new ULSTEIN AX104 anchor handling vessel. The vessel stands out due to its three innovative features - inverted bow design, diesel electric propulsion, and the introduction of a new safe anchor handling system. The shape of the hull has been optimised for high speeds, low resistance and low fuel consumption. Improved stability in extreme weather conditions is expected to benefit crew's comfort and safety during work and rest periods....

Guidance on Propulsion for LNG Carriers

4/6/2005
Article Summary:
Guidance on Propulsion for LNG Carriers
With contracts underway for an entirely new generation of very large LNG carriers of 200,000m3 and above, ABS is providing guidance to owners and shipyards on a range of issues that will affect the selection of the propulsion system for these advanced vessels. Direct drive, slow speed diesel plants, coupled with an on-board liquefaction plant to handle the cargo boil-off, or 4 stroke medium speed diesel electric propulsion, or gas turbine with diesel electric drive appear to offer the greatest operational efficiencies for the new designs of large LNG carriers. These alternatives are more econo...
